Boa semana. I am thinking about a project, which is to go around finding the few people left -if any- who grew up in lost communities such as Hamburg. But also the oldest generation from communities that still exist. I want to interview them, focusing mainly on two things:-Language (Typical words, expressions)-Food (Typical dishes, recipes, foods for holidays and special occasions)Any feedback is ...
http://rr.sapo.pt/noticia/63784/tora_com_mais_de_400_anos_descoberta_na_covilha I guess not all of you will be able to read Portuguese; a Torah scroll with ca.400 years has been recently found in Covilhã (Central Portugal), hidden on a wall. It was actually found 10 years ago, but just now it became public, since the founder - and now, the owner - didn't realize the importance of it. The news are...

A few weeks ago I wrote here about nonsense on Geni. com. It considered the identification of an english Millington-family with the Portuguese converso family De Millao. This has led to an investigation by Geni. com. It turns out that one Athol Bloomer is responsible for this, and for a lot of other fantasies, a lot. Athol Bloomer styles himself a Catholic Hebrew. Geni. com strated a project Bloom...
Too bad Porto isn't a "true" S&P, or so I've been told.
The Istanbuli! Shabat Shalom everyone!
I have mentioned before that my Cohen Lobattos and Sarucos moved to Suriname in the 1700s from Amsterdam. Although I do not know the story of why for the former family, I know part of the story for the latter family. Attached is a page from the Registro dos Despachados of 1764 in which my 7th great grandfather, Israel de Joseph Saruco Gabay, and his son (and my 6th great grandfather Haim), agreed ...

Souvenir de notre mellah de Rabat...A partir de cette petite entrée du Mellah à l'époque de mon enfance vers 1959, il y avait des endroits louches et il valait mieux ne pas s'y introduire. La nuit était réservée aux clients de maisons closes tenues par des tenancières juives et trés âgées dont les filles étaient toutes musulmanes et voilées. A part ça, des miaulements incessant de matouts à la rec...
Prières à la tour Hassan.
https://youtu.be/X84-VDAC_WkIn 'The Ancient Melodies of the Liturgy of the Spanish and Portuguese Jews' D.A de Sola writes that the melody for Lekha Dodi in use in Spanish and Portuguese communities considerably predates the composition of the piyyut itself. He cites rubricks in old prayer books which direct it to be sung to the Lachan of 'Shubi Nafshi Limnuchaichi', a piyyut written by R. Yehuda ...
